Airplane/Airline Megathread - St Maarten for nicest landings (image heavy)

[Muslim]

all of them are possible but the likeliness of them is irrelevant lol
if you're driving on an empty highway, is your car any safer than it would be on one with other drivers on the road? the answer is no btw

Aircraft accidents = more avoidable by professionals and aren't easy to survive
Auto accidents = less avoidable, but easier to survive.

Thing is, Night, that pilots are trained for those crash landing situations/avoiding mid air collisions. And if the pilot is smart (most pilots ((hue))) he'll get flight following from an air traffic controller even if its a beautiful day. Which leads me to my next point, collision unlikliness due to air traffic controllers. Cars are just easier to operate/control if something goes wrong. Aircraft maitenence laws are extremely strict, which also bumps down chances of mechanical failure.

my only point is the safety of the vehicle itself in a situation where there is an accident. flying as a passenger in a plane is safer, and that's why there are so fewer accidents, even considering how much fewer planes there are compared to cars. he said that planes are safer, I'm disagreeing with that and nothing else. I wouldn't hesitate to put my life in the hands of most pilots. I can't say that much for most people who drive cars

Yeah, with planes you need hours and hours of supervised driving, have to take tests, etc. It is a lot more extensive- Often about 40-60 hours for most people. People can get behind the wheel a lot more easily than a plane. :\

Cessnas are great and all but nothing like a good ol' IO-550 :P

Am I the only one that likes flight decks without MFDs/computer screens? Just seems more natural to me.

Actually again, I dont like the new instruments. I prefer those ^^ lol!
